Help! Did I kill my pizza dough?

Making pizza dough for a pizza party tonight, and I stupidly dissolved the yeast in hot (rather than warm) water. I'm afraid that killed the yeast. The balls look good but after 45 minutes, they still haven't grown very much. A bit, but not as much as they should have.

It actually turned out okay! Bit on the dry side, but not a big deal...I like thin and crispy crusts. The dough definitely ended up rising a reasonable amount, though it took quite awhile. I left it out all afternoon.
